Hey Jeremy,i have a trail camera about 10 yards in front of my ground blind.I have had the camera there for 2 years and i get pics of deer every day/night on that camera.I use trail cameras year round on our property to see how deer use the property.I built that blind where i did because i get the most pics there and i shoot most of my deer there too.It's one of those spots that the deer just like to travel through.I have most deer come past within 15 yards and i had one young 6 point this year put his head in my blind.I hope this helps you and good luck hunting.
